Loring AFB, ME

Two buddies of mine were in the Air Force Security Police and part of their regular duties was to stand guard at the edge of the base. (Loring AFB was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base for B-52 bombers.) They had guard dogs (K-9's) with them. Both of them being from Hawaii, they didn't like the cold that much. Well, when the temperature got to be (as best I can remember) minus 60 degrees with the wind chill factor, a portable heater was brought out for the K-9's! In the time we were there, it never got cold enough for them to find out if they even brought out some kind of heating device for the humans.
